4 quarterbacks to stream for fantasy football in Week 8

With bye weeks upon us, fantasy football managers are looking for replacements at the quarterback position as they look to stay relevant in the playoff race entering Week 8.

Those on a bye week include Philip Rivers, Matt Ryan, Dak Prescott and Marcus Mariota. If you’re looking for a replacement, there aren’t many encouraging options, but there are some to consider.

Here are four quarterbacks to stream in Week 8:

It seems every week, the No. 1 overall pick from the 2018 NFL Draft is a viable streamer. That trend continues in Week 8 as the Browns get their second matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Mayfield is coming off of his best outing from a fantasy perspective as he threw for 215 yards, two touchdowns without turning the ball over. His 20.9 standard fantasy points were the highest he’s recorded all year, and he seems to be clicking in Todd Haley’s offense.

His Week 8 opponent has been one of the worst defenses against fantasy quarterbacks this season and while the Steelers have had two weeks to prepare for the rookie, they have also allowed an average of 23.9 fantasy points per game to the position, which is fourth-worst in the NFL.
